    Best Smartphones (Archive)

    This article is definitely uninspiring. I don't care if Apple got slighted. They lag behind in terms of battery life throughout the entire lifespan of the I-Phone. To put it bluntly, Apple users are the willing victims of Hype-suck. Lemmings! Yet when are the reviewers going to get an HTC, LG or...

    Bluetooth connectivity question: Can two devices be active for Bluetooth at the same time?

    I use a bluetooth headphone for both my smartphone and my laptop. Do I need to turn Bluetooth off of one device to effectively use the headphone with the other?

    It feels like looking for a needle in a haystack

    Newegg has a deal on a lower version. The processor may not be as good, no touchscreen and the display is lower resolution. But no taxes and it's $599. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=34-298-... I wonder if there would be a considerable difference betwee the above machine and...

    I'm also more inclined to get the second Dell offering as it has an i7 processor, a Full HD display and a touchscreen.

    Photoshop/editing is my main focus. You may very well be right about their wording. I've noticed that on a lot of sites. Some of them commit what Weird Al Yankovic calls "Word Crimes". They all need a full time proofreader or a cunning linguist.

    Dell has an offer on that machine for $629, well under resellers. I wonder about the video resolution. In a seeming unrelated question; if your laptop has a resolution of 1366 x 768 can you still get a resolution of 1920 x 1080 via an HDMI connection to a monitor supporting that resolution?

    I have these on my wish list on Newegg. They are possibilities. I'm not certain as to whether or not they will be sufficient and are an improvement over my current laptop, the HP pavilion m6-1035dx. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231448 These two hit the absolute...

    It feels like looking for a needle in a haystack

    I've spent several weeks in a frustrating search for a new laptop. One of my main baselines for my search is for a machine with a backlit keyboard. However two things snag the search. One, if I do find a laptop with a backlit keyboard, the machine is lacking other important features such as an...
